Dear visitors and members, with the staff having moved on to other life interests and as a result of changes in people's internet usage habits, the CodeWalrus community have migrated almost entirely to Discord, IRC and WalrusIRC and is now essentially a place where to hang out, chat about gaming, programming, music, anime, and chill. As a result, even though the CW forums will remain open for posting, for faster TI, Casio or HP calculator help and news we recommend using the bilingual TI-Planet forums instead.

Topic: Mincraft (Read 12016 times)

I thought I would post some info about an Android project that I'm currently making in Unity.

Basically its a minimalistic Minecraft(or similar) hence the name 'Mincraft'.

Here is an early test video, however many things have changed from this version:

For performance reasons I had to do away with the infinite world generation and confine it to a specific size. I have managed to add simple caves, water/lava as well. Working on non-interactive mobs at present.

Sadly with everything new that I add the performance takes a little hit. Currently there are 2 world lights and some very simple static lighting that is calculated every few frames per block. I am still messing with the shaders to see what looks the best on device.

I plan on having some mobs that initially wont do anything other than run and jump around.

You should request to use someone's texture pack if you don't feel up to making your own. Even if you feel like making your own there may be a few tiles you can't manage, usually texture artists like that kind of stuff and will give you partial rights.
